MADISONVILLE, Texas -- Bursts of applause had already interrupted Rafael Cruz repeatedly, but the loudest cheer of the night came when the Cuban-born pastor finally made the Barack Obama-Fidel Castro comparison the crowd had been waiting for.
"He acts no different than that bearded guy I left behind in Cuba," the father of firebrand U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz told a packed tea party gathering.

This country needs leaders who will not be afraid to speak the truth about what is going on in this country. If Ted wins the nomination, I hope his father is one of the speakers at the convention. He almost like Sarah. God save us from the democrats and rinos who want to destroy this country and remove You completely.

"I lost my freedom once," he said of leaving Cuba for good "and I'm not going to lose it again. I'd rather die trying."It's good to hear from someone who has seen this nonsense up close! The elderly mother of an acquaintance here in MA, grew up in Germany, survived the Nazi years, only to be stuck behind the Iron Curtain for decades. She talks about her experience of Communism, and how she sees too much of the same sort of thing going on here and now.

"He acts no different than that bearded guy I left behind in Cuba," the father of firebrand U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz told a packed tea party gathering. I am sure he will be audited soon.

“AP tries to bash Ted Cruz’s father, fails” ought to be the real headline.

"Rafael Cruz fled Cuba in 1957 after being jailed under dictator Fulgencio Batista. He arrived in America with $100 sowed in his underwear..."I think I'll try sowing some Benjamins in my underwear and see if anything crops up.

Ted Cruz and his staff acknowledged Rafael's place as an occasional political surrogate when asked about more than $16,700 in travel expenses and mileage reimbursement his Senate campaign paid the elder Cruz in 2012 and through December of last year.That wouldn't pay for ten minutes of any of Michelle's many travels.
